This is one of the best venues to catch local or international, up-and-coming, underground, alternative music. As such the club nights also tend to bring in a pretty cool crowd.

This is the beach where the locals come hang out. A totally family friendly environment, I recommend packing a picnic basket, some blankets and watching the sun set here.
